Lunch with the ladies at Lusso, Greenbelt 5

I’ve passed by Lusso so many times in Greenbelt 5 but have
never really dined there until Monday's lunch with the ladies.It was a good thing my talented baker-mom friend Len has suggested we had lunch there, I
agreed (who wouldn’t?) and so did our always on the go and cam-shy friend Brie.

It was a good day to have lunch, the weather temperature was low, the sun was not so harsh, and if you live in Manila, you know that days like these are
precious.

Me and Len (Brie is cam-shy, but you'll see a "part" of her later. Haha! We catched up on each other’s lives, talked about family, friends, health, career, business and Manila's pastry of the moment, cronuts (or kroughnuts, it is spelled differently depending on where you're getting it).

I arrived first at the restaurant and couldn’t help but
marvel at the al fresco setting.It
would be nice to have afternoon tea here, or even a romantic candle-lit dinner at night.I love the ambiance.Outside you’re surrounded with the greenery
in Greenbelt Park while inside Lusso is a cozy dining area with velvet gold
upholstered chairs, a beautiful crystal chandelier and a 6 table set-up.

Of course, I couldn't help but take a photo of the arrangement at the outdoor table by Fiori Di M.

I love their arrangements, they are like sculptures.

Don't you just love the indoor dining area?

I love the beautiful crystal and gold chandelier and how it anchors the entire room.
